Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

The client was accused of resisting after officers tried to remove him from a seat during a late night encounter. The report claimed he tensed up and hesitated, but there were no allegations of striking, fleeing, or threats. We secured the bodycam and incident reports, built a precise timeline, and highlighted unclear commands and the lack of active force. We prepared to challenge whether the statute was met and pressed the issue in negotiations. The prosecution dismissed the resisting charge.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police alleged our client pulled away and interfered during the arrest, resulting in a Class A resisting charge. Bodycam and hospital records showed he was in significant pain with a dislocated shoulder and other injuries while officers attempted to restrain him for medical procedures. We gathered the videos, medical documentation, and injury photos and compared them to the officers’ reports. The material undercut any claim that he intentionally obstructed, indicating movements driven by pain and fear. After we presented these problems to the prosecution, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Obstruction of Police Duty

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

After a roadside stop, officers accused our client of obstructing their duties during the arrest and a later hospital blood draw. We pulled the bodycam and dash footage, dispatch logs, and medical records to reconstruct what actually happened. The evidence showed confusion and fear of needles, not intentional interference or threats. Reports from different officers conflicted on key details about the alleged obstruction. We pressed those inconsistencies and the lack of proof of intent, making clear we were ready to try the case. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic argument at a lodging where the complainant later told police she had been grabbed, and officers relied on phone photos showing a minor bruise. Our client denied causing any injury and described trying to move her from a couch to a bed during the dispute. We secured the reports and photographs, noted the absence of independent witnesses or medical documentation, and identified chronology issues in the paperwork. We made clear the State could not prove an intentional injury beyond a he said, she said account. Faced with those evidentiary gaps, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

Prosecutors alleged our client used another person’s account information to purchase items at a home improvement store. The video and transaction records were strong, but we pressed into the charging theory and loss documentation, noting the retailer had been reimbursed and the listed victim and allegations did not cleanly match the evidence. We also documented the client’s verified assistance to investigators. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction of the charge and a resolution for time served, closing the case without additional jail.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Denton County, CCC3

Allegations

Police contacted our client after a late night call while the client was near a parked vehicle outside a residence. A handgun was found in the vehicle, and the client said it routinely stayed there. Officers claimed a separate offense was occurring, turning otherwise lawful possession into a UCW allegation. We reviewed body cam video and reports, focusing on whether the client was actually operating the vehicle and whether the facts met the statute. Leveraging those issues, we secured deferred adjudication.

Charge

Interference with a 911 Call

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Police alleged the client blocked a 911 call during a domestic argument. We gathered and reviewed messages and recordings that showed the broader context of the dispute and credibility issues, then engaged the prosecutor with that material. When the state proposed dismissal tied to an overly broad protective order, we refused. We kept negotiating and secured a path to dismissal conditioned on an online anger-management course. The client completed it promptly, we presented proof in court, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Identifying Information

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 2

Allegations

The case arose from a prior arrest where officers searched the client’s vehicle and reported finding items tied to other people’s identifying information. After the client missed a setting due to mail issues, we stepped in immediately, filed our appearance, and secured a reset to prevent a warrant. We demanded and reviewed discovery, comparing the allegations to an earlier incident from the same timeframe and scrutinizing how the items were seized. Using those issues and mitigation we developed, we pressed negotiations until the State agreed to deferred adjudication.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

After a neighborhood dispute moved from social media into face to face encounters, our client was accused of harassment on a one sided report. We got involved early, contacted intake, and assembled the paper trail, prior call for service history, and video clips from both sides. Lining up the timeline exposed conflicting accounts and mutual confrontations that undercut the allegation. We put those contradictions in front of the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to fight it. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

Police made contact with our client during a roadside incident and arrested them for unlawful carrying after learning a handgun was in the vehicle. The client immediately disclosed the firearm, which was secured inside a locked console safe and not readily accessible. We moved quickly, collected the arrest paperwork, and documented the secure storage and our client's voluntary disclosure. We presented that to charging prosecutors, who declined to file, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #5

Allegations

Police responded to a multi-vehicle crash and opened a DWI investigation. While processing the scene, they recovered a handgun from our client’s vehicle and filed a misdemeanor unlawful carrying charge. We pulled the bodycam and reports, reconstructed the timeline, and challenged how the firearm was discovered and whether possession and statutory elements were actually met. We also presented mitigation, including the client’s clean record. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication on the UCW.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

Investigators used a cooperating witness to arrange controlled buys of THC products. Officers detained the client during a planned meet, then executed a warrant at a residence tied to the investigation. We obtained the texts, videos, and reports, challenged the informant’s reliability, scrutinized the handling of the buys, and questioned the scope and timing of the warrant. We also presented strong mitigation. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication, avoiding a felony conviction on the record.
